@eva cohen if you’re traumatized like I was, look into Kevlar gloves. Not good for slippery things and you can wash them for food safety. #kitchensafety #kevlar #reaction

Don’t get any ideas EARTH! 🌍 Reporting by @WIRED.COM New data from the James Webb Space Telescope suggests a planet in a faraway solar system was consumed by a star by hurling itself into it. #news #earth #science #survival #funfacts #DidYouKnow #planet

Small things that can give away a ton of info To be clear, I don’t know of crimes resulting from this but it is something security experts warn against. #privacy #safetytips #DidYouKnow #safetytips #securityhacks #staysafe #homesecurity

Ever wonder why you can’t move the chairs at an airport? It’s probably for safety 🦺 #travel #airportdesign #safetyfirst #funfacts #cpted #crimeprevention #safetravel #security #airportsecrets #DidYouKnow #inplainsight

⛈️ Not a rumor! Although rare it is possible for lightening to travel through pipes and water so the CDC (& other orgs) recommend not showering during thunderstorms. #safetytips #thunderstorm #psa #DidYouKnow #emergency #psa

✈️ Yep. Delta is using AI to price tickets. They’re moving away from static ticket prices and embracing AI to automatically adjust pricing. They started testing this idea with 1% of tickets, then bumped it up to 3% and now they’re planning to bump that up to 20% by the end of the year after Delta’s president said they’ve seen ‘amazingly favorable’ results. We know airlines change prices based on a ton of factors (we suspect some of this includes our online searches) but Delta is unique in how they’re openly embracing AI to price tickets. (P.S: the firm offering this tech also partners with Virgin Atlantic, Azul, WestJet and VivaAerobus, but it’s unclear how those companies are currently using the tech.)

If you’re a new parent (or buying gifts for one) - this one’s for you. 

These baby products are more trouble than they’re worth. 

I have 2 toddlers, I got sucked into some of the ‘new mom’ marketing, but trust me, less is more. You don’t need a lot of the stuff the registry lists tell you to get. 

These tips could save a life but at the very least, it’ll save you some money. 

And if you need alternatives, here’s some ideas:

Instead of a lounger, use the crib, play yard, bassinet or a baby mat or gym for the floor.
A bouncer/swing works too but never for sleep.

Instead of a baby walker or activity center- let the baby pull up on furniture around the house like your couch and you can get them a push walker toy. 

Neck floats- none. Hold the baby. 

Weighted blankets- a regular wearable blanket or swaddle without the weights.

I only do this when I’m 100% sure it’s fake & check multiple different ways, plus I report it. Chances are I can’t identify most counterfeits but when I do, I want to make sure no one else gets scammed. So far I’ve caught a few and Amazon usually responds quickly if it’s a car seat but with other listings they’re slow imo. Hopefully users reporting will help them get better at catching these. #amazonfinds #counterfeits #scamalert #shopsmart #consumertips #buyerbeware #consumeradvocate

Did your college have quirky traditions like milk & cookies every night or secret elves leaving you gifts? 😄 When I applied to @Mount Holyoke College , I had no idea what I was walking into. I didn’t even know the school existed but something about an all-women’s education felt right. And then, I discovered the traditions. From Mountain Day to the Laurel Parade, these moments make you feel part of something bigger- decades (even centuries!) of stories. Grateful to be part of a community of truly inspiring alumnae. 💙 What were your college traditions? #MountHolyoke #SevenSisters #WomensCollege #CollegeTraditions #MHCAlum #ReunionWeekend #WomenSupportingWomen #AlumnaeStrong #CollegeLife #WomenEmpoweringWomen

Blankets trap heat! 🥵 Instead, try this: • Avoid peak heat hours • Stick to shady areas • Dress your baby in cool layers • Use the stroller’s built-in shade (or add an extender!) • Clip on a portable fan • Keep everyone hydrated I tested this a 93°F day - in full sun- and the temperature increased by 10 degrees in just 8 min. What’s worse is that people might think a blanket is providing cool shade but it’s actually the opposite. 😢 #babysafety #summersafety #safetyfirst #parentingtips #psa #heatwave #childsafety

10 toes down. & to clarify, parental controls are not spyware. Spyware is much more invasive. #onlinesafety #parenting #safetytips

Common TSA Myths ✈️ This is focused on domestic travel & adults. Babies & toddlers have slightly different rules. For example, they can travel with more liquid such as milk, water, formula, etc. but it goes through an extra screening. #tsa #travel #airport #tipsandtricks #airporttips

Keep them safe! 🙃 #labubu #safety #fun

Policy update! As of July 15, YouTube is targeting low-quality AI generated repetitive slop (like the narration or template videos) by demonetizing those channels and prioritizing original content. What do you think? Has your feed been clogged up by slop? #ai #socialmedia #news #technology

Keep baby buckled 😱 Thank goodness this baby was tightly secured in their car seat and shout out to mom for staying so calm! #babysafety #safetytips #newmom #carseat
